Oriental Pied Hornbill making a flyby as we were heading towards Suai bridge on our way back from Kampong Kuala Suai. It flew from the left crossing our path, silently without making any noise ... what omen does it bring. Most of this cultural knowledge is all but lost to the new generation. Anyone with access to literature on divining the future from birds? Or any information on birds of omen, I'm keen to learn.
Just discovered a tip of the ice-berg, thanks Sara for the detective work:
Gregory Nyanggau Mawar's Origin of Iban Omen Birds
